Top 10 excuses by women who don’t wear the Hijab (find somewhere on the net)
This list has been compiled after research and is not intended to offend or
insult anyone. After reading them it is possible to reach ones own conclusions.
1. Friends will reject me
The people I hang around with and really tight with none of them wear hijab/
jilbaab and they take the mickey out of those that do. Especially the hijabies
who check out boys and do dirty dancing at college.uni parties. Names like
fundies, molvies, hypocrites and they cover coz they are ugly. If I wear the
hijab then I will lose all my friends and have the piss taken out of me as well.
2. Harm my career
I worked my arse of to get where I am now in my career. I got a big salary,
status and I enjoy the respect I get from colleagues and community. I can’t
risk all that for a piece of cloth, besides I would look weird in board
meetings and work parties in the pub and nightclubs. InshAllah when I get
married in my 30s and have kids in my mid 30s, I’ll cover as I’m supposed to
then.
3. My family are westernised
No one in my family wears hijab, even my grandmother wears bright coloured
stylish clothes. If I were to wear the hijab I’d feel strange coz we have
family gatherings where all the women dress in sarees and other revealing
clothes and at our weddings we have a DJ playing bhangra music and we all dance
to bollywood tunes, even my grandmother does a few funky moves on the dance
floor.
4. Non-Muslims will stare
I’ve noticed since 7/11 that non-Muslims regard anyone who looks like a Muslim
as a potential terrorist and by wearing the hijab I would attract attention. By
wearing western clothes I get away with non-Muslims thinking I’m a Hindu, Sikh
or moderate non-practicing Muslim. I’ve even had white guys trying to chat me
up coz they think I’m up for it based on the tight western clothing that I wear.
5. I’m still young
I’m only 27 I’ve got my whole life ahead of me. I’m still enjoying life, u
know what I mean, flirting with guys,clubbing, hanging out with mates in
shopping centres. When I get married and have kids I’ll wear it then
6. I wont get attention from guys
I love the attention I get from guys and the way they look at me u know what
I mean. I’m checking out 3 guys at the moment. Ones my age, ones older and one
is older and married. I guess we all need a toy boy as well as a father figure
/sugar daddy. I’ll choose one of them, although I’ve got a few my age from uni
as back up.
After I’ve lived my life to the max and played the field and settled down
then I might consider wearing it, even cover my face coz I don’t wanna meet any
of my ex’s now do I ? Shoot 2 birds with 1 stone, appear pious and avoid hassle
with former boyfriends , great idea, hijab. Jilbab and niqab.
7. I dress modestly
I wear loose modest clothes which cover and hide my curves, I know my hair is
exposed but at least I’m more or less covered, better than a lot of girls/women
who dress like tarts.
8. People will think I’m a fundamentalist
There is so much in the media nowadays about Muslims getting radicalised and
rejecting western values and becoming fundamentalists. I just don’t want people
to think that I am one also. Although I know that the west and its values are
decadent and filthy, I don’t think it’s wise to express this. I pray and fast
etc, I don’t need to wear Islamic clothing to be a good Muslim coz Islam is in
my heart.
9. I worked hard to get this figure
After going to the gym and Pilates fro 6 months I’ve finally achieved the
hourglass figure which men find attractive. I enjoy the attention I get and
feel attractive. By wearing the hijab/jilbaab I would just be an ordinary woman
in the eyes of men and only religious types with big beards would be interested
in me.
10. When in Rome do as the Romans
We live in the UK and not in a Muslim country so why follow Islam rigidly?
Also compared to non-Muslim women who practically walk around naked I dress and
behave quite respectably.
Whenever I visit back home I wear different clothes coz I don’t want people
to think bad of me and my family. One day in my 60’s after I have lived my life
I will go to hajj and then become the perfect Muslimah, not now coz I believe
“when in Rome do as the Romans”.
